Then, I started getting comments, I started participating in contests, I started making more friends and I started spending more and more time on the blog. Sure, to justify it I could always say that I was “working” as a pro-blogger. Let’s just say the income doesn’t justify that designation. Especially since I just gave a lot of it away.

Nope, what is actually a hobby has become a great big time suck and I need to get it under control.

So, that means I am going to have to set the egg timer every time I sit down and stop when it goes off. I know it isn’t going to be easy, but it is in my entire family’s best interests.

The truth is, what I really want is more: More love, more recognition, more success, more patience, more time and more energy. Most of all, I want to get more enjoyment out of who I am and who I am with now.

Maybe, I shouldn’t ruin it with resolutions.

That’s the problem with writing a blog. I feel a committment to live by what I write. If I say, I am going to lose 10 pounds, re-write my novel into something better, start a savings money for both of the kids’ futures, work on my relationship, and wean the baby, the I am accountable to anyone who reads this…and if I don’t live up to my expectations, I’ll feel like a failure to myself and to you even if my expectations are completely unrealistic.

Living one day at a time, starting each morning anew, forgiving myself for what happened yesterday, all of those ideas seem like a better way forward to me.

I don’t know. Have you decided to make a new year’s resolution?
